Inc.
12th July 1992 A fire broke out
at Boiler Room level on the STOLT SPUR whilst at the Republic Dock in Sembawang
Shipyard. A common hazard in work aboard is the proximity of flammable material
whilst performing "hot work", or cutting/welding with naked flame.
Six people died, and sixty were injured, one of whom lost his hearing. Firemen
at once commenced with seven jets. Breathing apparatus was brought to the ship.
The fire was fought from 1115 until 1140. The damage was in the order of £2.5
million, covering three levels of the ship; The upper level exit Nr 1 door was
badly burnt, the middle level metal structures buckled severely at the first
poop deck and the lower level insulation material at the new boiler was
completely burnt. It was 1440 before the ship was considered safe.
